Thanks for your answers. I know that everyone's response to TRT is different. I'm just trying to learn from other men's experiences, plus it helps me to better understand what I am/my experience. My pre TRT level was 159 and 243. I started on once a week protocol and did well until my...

If you take EOD 24 mg, then your total weekly dose is about 96 mg per week, right? Do you "feel" a difference on that dose. Is your libido more consistent? May I ask, what was your baseline T level before you started TRT. Mine was measured at 159 and 243. I don't know if a EOD 24 mg...

Don't remember if I posted this to you or not. In my last labs on a once weekly regimen of .75cc of T with .45mg anastrozole split into three doses, my SHBG was 13. But at peak my FT was twice the amount of the upper limit (325 on a range of 35-155), and at trough it was still slightly above...

Did you say you were taking 1 mg of anastrozole twice a week? That would be 2mg a week. That's a lot if I understand you correctly. I've heard there is really no need to take more than .5 mg weekly for most men.

When you say I do not see a large decline in levels after 6 days.......... my TT loses 600 points from day 1 to 7 (1200-600). Is that not considered a lot? Sometimes I think I can feel the differnce on days 6 and 7 even though 600 isn't considered low. Should I be able to "feel" a...

So, is that good or bad? My results FT and TT at trough seem to mimic your numbers. Strangely, though, I haven't felt my best the last couple days.

What do you mean my labs are not typical of men with low SHBG? Can you explain a little more? My FT at peak is nearly double the high end of the range, and my FT at rough is still above the upper limit. Is that OK?

317 is on the low side. for T. The only way to know if TRT will help all the symptoms you mentioned is to try it, but make sure to use a doctor who is knowledgable in TRT. TRT should improve your drive. The only way to know if you have a venous leak is to have a penile doppler ultrasound...

Here are my most recent labs taken on the once a week injection schedule. Both times SHBG was 13. First lab was taken at the end of the weekly cycle right before my next injection. T-- 678 (range 250-1100) Free T-- 158 (range 35-155) Estradiol-- 20 (range 29 or below) SHBG-- 13 (range...

Sorry I took so long to reply. Here are my most recent labs. I am on a once week a dose of .75cc of T on Mondays with .25mg anastrozole on Tuesday or Wednesday, and .1mg anastrozole on Fri and Sun. First lab was taken at the end of the weekly cycle right before my next injection. T--...

My free T numbers usually test on the high side of the range or above the range. With E2, 24 hours (Tuesday) after my weekly injection the E2 can be anywhere from 37-53. By Friday before I take the .1mg anastrozole it has tested at 30. Then Monday before my next injection it has tested around...

What do you mean flaccid it doesn't look the same? When you don't sustain an erection as long as you used to, or does't last long enough for intercourse, that could be early warning signs. Only way to know for sure is to have urologist do a penile doppler ultrasound to measure blood flow and...

What's your email? Or how do I private message you?

Thanks, man, for that explanation. I understand SHBG now a little better. I just had labs done this week including SHBG and am waiting results. But I think my SHBG is usually in the 20s. I am currently on a once a week regimen injecting 150mg (.75cc) on Mondays and taking .25mg anastrozole...

Were you not getting morning erections when you weren't on EOD schedule? Why did you think that would never happen again? Do you find your libido more consistent on the EOD schedule? What dose of T do you take on that schedule and does it still include anastrozole? Thank you for sharing.

Did you say that you have problems when your E is above 29 on the sensitive scale? I ask because I think I noticed some effects when my E gets into the high 30s or 40s, but I'm told that that level doesn't affect most guys. So hearing you say that anything above 29 makes me think I'm not...

Is there any difference in strength or effectiveness between brand name Cialis and the generic Tadalafil? Do both work the same in most men?

Did you notice any other benefits by going EOD? Was libido more consistent? How do you inject on an EOD schedule?

I read your reply. I have a question about the SHBG. Could you explain SHBG a little more and why that should affect your dosing frequency? What is considered a high and low SHBG? Thank you.

In other words, exercise can cause injected T to last a little longer in the body? It doesn't deplete your injected T or use it up faster.

I thought that I noticed it was harder to get erections when my E2 started to creep into the high 30s and 40s. But it has been difficult to judge what acceptable E2 levels are for me because the venus leak interferes. It may be the main culprit is the venus leak and maybe the E levels of high...

Thank you. I may email and ask some questions. I can get an erection too, but it goes down in a few seconds. I am having to consider the implant. I'd be interested in hearing your experience.

I'm not sure what you mean. Provide details of what? TRT isn't going to cause a venus leak. It has nothing to do with TRT. TRT will improve your libido. A venus leak is a blood flow issue where the penis does not trap the blood in the vessels of the penis to maintain an erection. My...

I was told it can happen simply from wear and tear and age. Or other times it happens to men from an injury in that area. Sometimes it is unexplainable. At first some ED started happening very sporadically. Eventually I was diagnosed with Low T and started TRT and that seemed to help. But...

I have lots of lab numbers I can give you. I'm traveling this weekend and can give you those numbers after the weekend. What specifically do you want to know?

That's why I am thinking of going to twice weekly. I was on twice weekly before without any AI and my E2 would still be high 30s, low 40s, so I would take .1mg anastrozole after each injection.

I'm not sure what you mean when you say shotgun pattern. My purpose was to ask a few questions and see what those who are experienced on TRT have to say. I posted a few times because I wasn't sure I posted in the right place and am still learning to manuever this site. My questions are meant...

I'm not sure what you mean. I don't even get on the Reddit website. I,m just asking an honest question because I'm still learning about testosterone. I used to work out quite regularly before I moved 1 1/2 years ago and haven't gotten back into it regularly yet, and this question crossed my...

I am TRT on a once weekly protocol right now. I go to the gym to work out--- usually weight lifting, but super heavy lifting. Question--- I know that exercise is supposed to help increase your body's natural T level. But if you are on TRT which meas your body is no longer producing its on...

Also on weekly injections my highest level is 1200-1300 1-2 days after injection. Then 7 days later right before I take my next injection my level is 500-600. Is that too much of a swing? Sometimes I think I feel the difference between the beginning of the cycle when I'm 1200-1300 and then...

What do you mean by over-responder? That some guys are more sensitive to anastrozole?
